This Is my hobby site.

Welcome to my corner of the web where I document my fiber hobbies — knitting, sewing, spinning, and weaving.

I use this space to track goals, projects, and the occasional random thoughts related to my favorite hobbies.

Though I’ve been crafting for over twenty years, I decided in 2020 to create a yearly list that includes all of my making goals. Here are my yearly themes and goals from previous years: 2024 // 2023 // 2022 // 2021 // 2020.

2025 marks five years!

2025 theme

Cohesive Craft Collections

In reviewing my themes for previous years, I can see that “stashbusting” / “using what I have” and making things that I like, are fun, and find “meaningful” are themes that I revisit often. This year, I’d like to focus on the common elements that make a project part of a cohesive, personal style.

The goal of stashbusting and having fun with meaningful makes will still be a priority, but I want the overall goal of creating a cohesive craft collection to drive which projects are prioritized within each crafting category.
